Good news team, Sister Chandler and I are staying in YSA for another transfer :))) Our District Leader called us Saturday night and we thought it was the Assistants calling to break us up and we about shot the poor elder for scaring us so bad. Really though, I told President Burt that I genuinely doubt it gets any better than this, the work is a little slow at the moment but I ADORE Sis Chandler, I'm in LOVE with the island, and I never ever want to leave the YSA branch here. Charissa, an RM who served in Madrid, literally went street contacting with us yesterday. I CAN'T EVEN GET MISSIONARIES TO WANT TO STREET CONTACT. Ah I'm literally just surrounded by people who totally are what I need to be when I get home THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER AND ALSO PRESIDENT BURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In other news we ate really expensive, really worth it fish and chips in the ripping wind on the pier this week, talked to about 9 million Japanese people downtown as well as a few Chinese and a few Canadians, and Dani invited us to go fishing today so we are pleased with our week. Also Morning, our darling Filipina investigator, accepted an invitation to be BAPTIZED in April and literally told me that SHE WOULD BE HONORED. I about died. I love her. I love all the girls we teach. Sometimes I want to revoke their agency and drag them to church, but I love them regardless.
A returned missionary spoke about the Book of Mormon in church yesterday and blew every single one of us away DO WE EVEN REALIZE WHAT WE ARE HOLDING PEOPLE????????? He taught that the Book of Mormon is Christ saying 1) "I can help you", 2), "I want to help you", and 3) Please, keep my commandments so I can help you". Gold. Above all else, the Book of Mormon is a direct plea to trust the Saviour. So now I am committing all of you, via email, to YouTube this very instant Elder Holland's talk "Safety for the Soul". Watch it, don't just read it. Then pick up the Book of Mormon. Sometimes we just have to get over ourselves and read it with an open mind and a willing heart. It's good for us. It's necessary. I know God gave it to us for a reason.
Loving you all from Vancouver Island!
